Quick & Easy Cards

So little time for stamping lately, but thought I'd share this quick and easy thank you note card stamped with the Serene Silhouettes Stamp Set. My lighting wasn't great yesterday, this is so much nicer in real life. I inked the stamp with Sahara Sand ink and then added some color to the flowers with the brush tip of my Cajun Craze Marker before stamping. Super quick & easy!!

Today's project is a pretty gift box of monogram note cards created with the Sophisticated Serifs and Your Perfect Day Stamp Sets. Both of these sets can be found in the Occasions Catalog thru June 2nd.

I love this alphabet set! It's perfect for monograms because it includes both upper and lower case letters of the entire alphabet, plus a pretty frame and three delicate flower images.

Sophisticated Serifs (set of 65)

I paired this with the pretty vine image from the Your Perfect Day stamp set for a feminine look. I think these will make great Mother's Day gifts!!

Your Perfect Day (set of 10)

I used Pistachio Pudding and Crisp Cantaloupe, both are 2013-2015 In Colors that will be retiring in June. I love these subtles and I'm very sad to see them go...I am stocking up on them now. These colors will go fast, so get them before they're gone!

FYI...the entire Retiring Stamps & Accessories List will be announced next Tuesday. Items will be discounted up to 50%, so be sure to check back and get your favorites before they're gone!!
